33,35 B des Arceaux, 34000 Montpellier
Behind a discreet façade in the Arceaux district, the hotel of the same name reveals a certain charm from the very first moments. Two former bourgeois residences, merged in the early 20th century, now house this intimate establishment, where understated refinement blends with a warm atmosphere. This mix of old-world elegance and contemporary touches creates a welcoming setting, perfect for a pleasant and restful stay.
The location allows easy movement around Montpellier. Tram line 3, accessible just a few steps away, quickly connects to Place de la Comédie or Saint-Roch train station. On foot, it’s easy to reach the historic center or stroll along the Peyrou promenade. The hotel remains set back from the urban hustle and bustle, offering a priceless tranquility in the city.
From the entrance, the ambiance is set. The welcome is discreet, the atmosphere muted, and the pace invites a pause. The old building has retained its charm while embracing well-balanced contemporary touches: designer furniture, soothing colors, and noble materials. At the back, a wooded garden provides an unexpected breath of fresh air, a true green haven that guests can enjoy from morning until the end of the day.
Hôtel des Arceaux features eighteen rooms, divided into three categories. All are different in layout and ambiance. Some overlook the garden, while others offer a view of the Saint-Clément aqueduct, an emblematic monument of the district. The choice between standard, classic, or superior rooms allows guests to tailor their stay according to their preferences or the length of their visit.
In the rooms, every detail seems designed to combine comfort and simplicity. The bedding is carefully chosen, the air conditioning individually adjustable, and the general calm ensures restful nights. A minibar, a TV with international channels, and Wi-Fi are available in all room categories.
The care given to the layout is reflected in the bathrooms, which are modern and minimalist, sometimes featuring rain showers. Some rooms boast generous dimensions, up to 25 m², comfortably accommodating up to four people. Others, more compact, charm with their intimate and serene ambiance.
In the morning, breakfast can be served in the dining room or outdoors in the garden when the weather permits. Service extends until noon, a rare feature that allows guests to start the day at their own pace. The selection of products is comprehensive, with both savory and sweet options. On Tuesday and Saturday mornings, the organic market set up right in front of the hotel adds a touch of local life that is worth experiencing.
For a daytime break or an evening snack, a light dining service is offered between 7 PM and 10 PM. The bar, meanwhile, remains open until midnight. Hot or cold drinks can also be served at any time between 7 AM and midnight, depending on travelers’ needs. A simple service that supports without ever feeling burdensome.
The garden is a real asset. Tree-filled and peaceful, it invites reading or relaxation. A few tables are set up for enjoying a coffee, having a light meal, or extending breakfast. It’s a space remembered as a refuge, rare in an urban setting.
For those arriving by car, parking spaces are available upon reservation. This service can be particularly useful during peak periods in Montpellier. The establishment also presents itself as a place open to all, respecting the diversity of its clientele.
Hôtel des Arceaux stands out for its balance between comfort, discretion, and a refined atmosphere. The entire staff strives to make each stay smooth, unpretentious but with continuous attention. Staying here is a pleasure, whether visiting for business or exploring the city.
Montpellier, from the hotel, naturally opens up to discovery. The Peyrou park, accessible within minutes on foot, offers a panoramic view of the city from its vast esplanade. Right next door, the Arc de Triomphe and the royal promenade gardens provide a pleasant stroll.
Heading east, the historic center reveals its pedestrian alleys, shaded squares, and blonde façades. Saint-Pierre Cathedral, one of the city’s most remarkable buildings, is easily reached. The Fabre Museum deserves a prolonged visit: it houses a remarkable collection of paintings ranging from the Renaissance to contemporary art.
The Beaux-Arts district, nearby, charms with its lively and artistic atmosphere. Galleries, artist workshops, and a more local ambiance make it an ideal spot to wander off the traditional tourist paths. Cultural events are often held there, especially during the warmer months.
For those wishing to explore further, the Mediterranean Sea is only about twenty minutes away by car. Between heritage and nature, culture and a gentle way of life, Montpellier offers a range of activities that perfectly complement a stay at Hôtel des Arceaux.
